Allied Captures Lakeland Inspiration for Langtons Gin

Creativity and a commitment to the highest quality glass packaging lie at the heart of Allied Glass Containers.

Here, the team of highly experienced designers create some of the most beautiful and inspirational glass packaging for some of the world’s most innovative spirits. Take for example the stunning new bottle painstakingly created for the launch of Langtons Gin, which is a brilliant example of what can be achieved when the latest design technology is combined with imagination and craftsmanship.Langtons is a fine and distinguished gin crafted from the purest natural spring water from the Lake District.The bottle was inspired from a piece of slate found at the heart of Langtons, under Skiddaw mountain. It was resting on the slopes of Skiddaw over the ancient acquifer, the natural water source for Langtons No 1 gin.

Trying to capture the Lake District in a bottle, it was essential that it reflected slate contours, one proudly being the profile of Skiddaw on the front face of the bottle. Furthermore, the colour of the bottle emulates the properties of wet slate, the greens, blues and blacks on different days in the Lake District.

The classic, stand alone quality of the gin is also reflected by the tapered rectangular shape of the bottle with a soft curved finish, which pays homage to the original gin flask from the early 1700s.

Langtons Gin was created by co-founder, Tim Moor, who expertly incorporates an exclusive blend of exotic ‘botanicals’ which uniquely includes seasoned bark from 100 year old oak trees of Lake District National Park heritage.

Dr Henry Snaith of the University of Oxford has been named as one of the ten people who have made the most difference in science during 2013 in recognition of his work on next generation solar power technology.
